Repair Procedures: Disassembly
IMPORTANT:
- When compressing the coil spring, be cautious as there may be corrosion due to damage to the coil spring painting.
In order to avoid such painting damage, compress by putting over the waste hose, etc. (Refer to the illustration below.)
- Remove the front shock absorber cover.
- Compress the coil spring (A) with a strut spring compressor. Do not compress the spring excessively.
- Using the SST (0K546-F6100), loosen the lock nut.
Tightening torque:
117.7 - 127.5 N.m (12.0 - 13.0 kgf.m, 86.8 - 94.0 lb-ft)
- Gradually turn the bolt on the spring compressor to slowly release the tension from the spring. Then, disconnect the components.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
